Test Engineer - Brakes Performance & ESP Testing

Tasks

The Test Engineer – Brake Performance & ESP Testing will lead the development and execution of brake, ABS/EBS, and ESP/ESC validation programs for commercial vehicles. Responsibilities include DVP/DVP&R preparation, vehicle instrumentation, data acquisition, postprocessing, and technical reporting while collaborating with Design, Homologation, Vehicle Dynamics, and Global Engineering teams. Hands-on driving experience and proficiency with VBOX, IPETRONIK, and CAN-based measurement systems are essential.

• Develop and maintain DVP and DVPR documents for brake, ABS/EBS, and ESP/ESC validation activities
• Plan and execute brake performance, homologation, and duty cycle measurement tests on commercial vehicles
• Conduct service brake, parking brake, fade and recovery, split mu, and emergency braking evaluations
• Perform ESP/ESC validation tests such as J Turn, Fishhook, Sine with Dwell, Double Lane Change, Curve Braking, and Yaw Stability
• Instrument vehicles using VBOX, IPETRONIK, CAN loggers, brake pressure, wheel speed, steering angle, yaw rate, and temperature sensors
• Support regulatory certification and homologation programs for braking and stability systems
• Assist in CAPEX planning, budgeting, procurement, and commissioning of test equipment and instrumentation
• Collaborate with Design, Homologation, Vehicle Dynamics, and Global Engineering teams to resolve test issues
• Acquire, analyze, and postprocess test data, producing clear technical reports and recommendations
• Maintain and calibrate test rigs, sensors, and data acquisition systems to ensure accuracy and safety
